[START]
WILLEMSTAD: During refurbishing and reparatory work, which involved
removing the ceiling and panelling on cruise ship Freewinds, blue
asbestos was released and ended up in the ventilation system.

Freewinds' captain did not report this when it's own personnel were
working on the ship on the Mathey warf in Otrobanda. The Curacao
Drydock Company (CDM), where the ship was taken for reparatory work on the hull, heard from the surveyor that there may be asbestos on the
ship. The captain acknowledged the incident and said that after the
incident Freewinds had some investigation done. Keeping the incident
quiet became more noticeable when it turned out that the 40-year-old
ship contatined blue asbestos.

The question is whether or not the blue asbestos dust, which can cause
cancer, can be removed from the ship. The CDM has stopped all work on
the ship. The ship was sealed and isolated and experts will investigate and measure the presence of asbestos dust in the hull and surrounding areas. Commissioners Eugene Rhuggenaath (Economic Affairs) and Humphrey Davelaar (Public Health) said on Friday.

CDM interim director Frank Esser, deputy head of the Department of
Labour Affairs Christiene van der Biezen were accompanied by two
inspectors and head of the health Department Tico Ras. Samples taken
from the panelling last week by inspectors that were sent to the
Netherlands showed that they contained significant amounts of blue
asbestos. After an extraordinary meeting, the Executive Council
decided to inform the public in general about the incident to avoid
remours and panic.

The CDM personnel were also informed via the media because it was
impossible to gather all the workers Friday evening to personally give
them the information.

Subject: Asbestos inspection on the Freewinds.

Dear Sir,

Because of your email about blue asbestos on board the Freewinds the Director Shipping and Marine has carried out an inspection.

The inspection on board the Freewinds was done by two qualified and independent bureaus: the American Quest Environmental Inc. and the classifying department of the ship named Det Norkse Veritas.

The inspections carried out concentrated on air ventilation systems, passenger areas, working and public areas and staircases on board the ship.

These inspections revealed there is no concentrations of asbestos being found in the air, nor is there any asbestos found in the airconditioning system of the ship.

I thank you for your concerns and hope to have given satisfactory information.

with many greetings,

Ir. Maurice Adriaens
Secretary of Traffic and Transport.

This is another HUGE footbullet for Davey and his Cult.

In an earlier thread, Navy/Peter Schilte reported that he wrote to the Health Department in the Netherland Antilles alerting them to the blue asbestos situation on the Freewinds and apparently they conducted an inspection on the ship. Their results are contained in this letter:

This news article prooves they were either lying through their teeth or didn't really do the inspection at all.

Folks, this could be HUGE. The Freewinds death ship may never set sail ever again. How will Davey spin this to his loyal followers? How many people have gotten sick or gotten cancer from the blue asbestos on the Freewinds?

I was on the Freewinds once? Does that mean that I could be a victim of cancer at some point because of this exposure?

Is this just more of the CoS debris field or is the Karmic Vortex as Swifty put it starting to rage in full gear?

Cheers!

A paraphrase of the new fundraising letter to be sent out by David
Miscavige,
the leader of the amazing shrinking scam of scientology

Dear $cientologist,


Because the word $cientologist has fallen into such disrepute,
and in an effort to try telling the absolute truth for a change, I
will from here on refer to $cientologists as 'rubes'.. okay?


Attention all rubes, because this scam is only about getting
your money and retaining as much of your money as possible, and yes it
is very expensive to pay lawyers to lie on our behalf to silence those
who do not believe Hubbard's lies, and yes we were too cheap to
procure a proper vessel for perpetrating the fraud of scientology upon
your enfeebled minds, and yes we got a good a deal on this rustbucket
because the previous owners knew it woldbe impossible to reomve the
asbestos, and YES we knew that the only good scientologist in
scientology is a dead scientologist, because dead people can not sue
us for fraud.


So we purchased an old ship filled with deadly blue asbestos...
and like all bad news that might affect the health of a scientologist
we covered it up, because L Ron Hubbard said "If it is true for you it
is true for you". So simple, if you do not know about this toxic dust
that slowly kills you it will not be true for you, geddit? This is how
we keep scientology working. Any questions?


" Yes, I have a question "


MAA, declare that person an SP and throw them over the side.


Anyone else have a question?


So after hiding this toxic poison for decades, we now must
induce every scientologist who has ever been on the Freewinds..to do
the Purification rundown at their own expense, and yes, you see we
have no liability because we did not force you to take your next
breath, you literally, "pulled it in" - all those billions of
microscopic razors to destroy the cell walls in your lungs, and yes,
ironic isn't it, that in your old age as you wheeze and gasp for
breath after the asbestos has destroyed your lungs, you will laugh
along with me about the name.. ha ha, they even had the nerve to call
it the "Free Winds"... while you beg for your next breath....


Oh and rubes, we need you to donate more money so we can buy
another ship to take you beyond the 10 mile limit where we can really
practice scientology without interference of the psychiatric
controlled governments of the world.
